The political sentiments of Mr Hummels are well known. Mr Hummels appears on hit lists the alt-right world over, but, I hear you ask, what political demonstrations has he personally lent his significant muscular weight to? The following should act as an answer to that question. It seems like a ages ago now, possibly due to … Continue reading Lunch Against Trump

World Cup Final 2018
As my working life slowly intrudes on my alternate personality, you'll notice that the frequency and quality of content will also subside. Which may not leave you with a lot of hope. In an effort to combat overcome this rather sad facet of life in London, here's a little ramble about the World Cup final … Continue reading World Cup Final 2018
World Cup 2018 – Third Place Play-off
A great weight was lifted on Wednesday evening. The personal consequences of the game were large - I no longer have to fear being in England while they win the Coca Cola. The national implications could be greater - will the mediocre placing of 4th temper the rise of nationalism? Could losing to a minnow … Continue reading World Cup 2018 – Third Place Play-off
Review -Mastersystem – Dance Music, Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, Adam Buxton Bowiewallow and added bonus – tangential reflections on life, death, etc.
I recently wrote, in a bit of a fraught state, about the death of Scott Hutchinson. Like many other fans I've tried to excavate the loss of a hero by pouring over the archives of alternate projects, B-sides, interviews and the old classics. The more I watch and listen, the more things seem to make … Continue reading Review -Mastersystem – Dance Music, Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, Adam Buxton Bowiewallow and added bonus – tangential reflections on life, death, etc.
World Cup 2018 – Day 8
Summer in the British Isles is a curious thing, you spend months wishing for it in all its glory and then spend the days inside watching football when it arrives. Or I do, anyway. In an effort to avoid this exact situation, I made plans to excommunicate myself. A timely homage to Stalinist Russia. My … Continue reading World Cup 2018 – Day 8
World Cup 2018 – Days 3-7 – Round-up
It's fair to say that with the tight schedule of football, exhaustion is setting in - for me. I managed the big Saturday and followed it up with a big Sunday - in which Mexico beat Germany! The big Saturday was a long day with lots of football, the big Sunday was a long day … Continue reading World Cup 2018 – Days 3-7 – Round-up
World Cup 2018 – Day 2
All the signs were there. They read Portugal vs Spain - 7pm. But few could have anticipated that what we would witness would be something as magical as that. That is only partly true. The definable magic of the world cup is perhaps why we all watch it? When Danny Murphy repeats "Unbelievable!" three times … Continue reading World Cup 2018 – Day 2

On… Television
In accordance with my last post, I'm going to chunder out a mass review of all the tv I watched over the exam period. I kept a list and everything. Also in accordance with the last post, the generally confused and subjective tone. The general formula of TV is formula. Do it once, well. Well, do … Continue reading On… Television
Theory and Praxiszzzz
As I attempt to synthesise a semesters worth of sociological theory alongside a semester of unwritten posts and scribbles from a notebook, do not lose heart. There will be a point to all of this. The life of an anonymous, poorly-subscribed-to online lifestyle brand is a lonely one. The nature of living our creative existence … Continue reading Theory and Praxiszzzz
